Classic Ladies

I sometimes think people place too much value on classical literature just because it is classical. Having been written in the 19th century does not automatically a good book make, no?

What’s In My Gym Bag

Besides the handcuffs and chloroform, of course. I thought you might want to see what’s in my gym bag, partly because it is huge and I feel as though I need to justify my excessive use of bag space by showing you all the exceedingly important things I tote around with me, but also because […]

On “Taking One for the Team”

If you have ever been in a serious relationship, you know that one of the hardest things about sharing your life with another person is syncing up your sexual schedules. Often, the desire to make love will be mutual, or will at least follow from the initiation of activity, but many times you will not […]
